Eu’Vend and Coffeena. From 19 to 21 September, the best of both worlds – at one show!

New technologies and new forms of payment, designed to deliver even greater capability and flexibility to the marketplace whilst maintaining a focus on the environment… That’s what’s at the centre of Eu’Vend which, alongside Coffeena, celebrates the leading-edge technology of the sector.

With this year’s show, Germany is intent on confirming its role as the driving force of the European economy as it gets ready to welcome the industry to present the latest innovations from all over the world, whilst simultaneously dedicating extensive space to its own excellent products.

During the course of the fair, the Vending Star Award will be assigned to the company – or brand – that has presented the sector’s most innovative product.

Sustainability issues will be given wide coverage. New solutions have been designed to reduce environmental impact, deliver tighter control over energy consumption and ensure the more responsible use of resources.

Remarkable technological developments are also taking place with regard to payment systems, advances destined to be deployed more and more extensively in the future. For instance, the use of telemetry – that’s to say, data transmission between automatic vending machines and their operators in real time – will not only ensure more rapid and efficient technical assistance, but will also offer truly tangible benefits to end consumers.

They will be able to take part, for instance, in promotions, happy hours and special offers and to enjoy a better and more varied drinks selection, too.

From here, interactive shopping is just a few steps away, thanks to the latest generation of vending machines with integrated touch screen monitors that are ‘coming soon’ to all of us!

In short, Cologne is a not-to-be-missed event: If you want to get a glimpse of the future and exchange of views with like-minded colleagues from across the globe, Cologne has no equal in Europe.

At ‘coffeena’, the capabilities of the beverage industry are highlighted and at ‘Eu´Vend’, Ho.Re.Ca customers discover the possibilities of vending.

“These are valuable synergies that provide the best possible presentation platform for manufacturers and suppliers to the industry as a whole, such as N&W” says Oliver Garn, N&W Sales Manager for Germany and the Netherlands, and he adds ‘we mean to benefit from this opportunity and we’ll be showing our extensive product range, which embraces the requirements of both the Vending and Ho.Re.Ca. sectors.’
